Scientific American, Vol. 79, No. 16 (1898)
Scientific American volume 79, number 16, published in New York in 1898, a weekly magazine for a general readership of inventors, engineers and tradesmen. Its pages mix wood-engraved machine diagrams, factory scenes, and dense columns of advertisements for engines, lathes, filters and books. The engravings show paper-making machinery, a pipe filtering installation and workshop equipment, giving a designer period technical drawings with plenty of hatching and small-print texture to borrow.
